Bismarck realized that in order to unify North Germany with the South German Kingdoms of Baden, Wurttemburg, and Bavaria, Bismarck needed to be able to defeat France in a decisive fashion. Only such a defeat would fracture the historic Catholic-Alliance between France and the South German Kingdoms. As a result, Bismarck wanted to keep France isolated for two reasons, first to make defeating France easier and second to prevent the south German Kingdoms from coming to France's aid and then causing increased enmity between North Germany and the South German Kingdoms rather than promoting German unification.
